Autonomous Robots

Tomorrow sees the UK national final of the Robots Lego League held at the University of Birmingham's Great Hall from 10.30am.

Dr Richard Dearden, former NASA robotics scientist and Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at the University says, ‘The aim of the lego league is to get school children interested in and excited about science, technology and engineering and we hope that by introducing them to robotics at this age, they will go on to study science at A level and then at University.’ Winners of this event will then go forward to the World Festival in Atlanta, USA in April 2007.

No idea if it's open to the public but should be worth popping along to see if you're in the area.
